Everything you need to know about Pokemon Go Valentine Day event.

Finally, we get the official news from Niantic about the much awaited Valentine Day special event.
Here is the official statement.

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, we couldn't think of a sweeter time to double the amount of Candy you'll earn every time you catch, hatch, and transfer Pokémon. Your Buddy Pokémon is also getting into the Valentine's Day spirit and will find Candy twice as fast!Throughout the celebration, you'll notice that Chansey, Clefable, and many other adorable pink Pokémon will be encountered more frequently in the wild. Cleffa, Igglybuff, and Smoochum will also be more likely to hatch from Eggs. And to help you paint your town pink this Valentine's Day, Lure Modules will last for six hours for the entire duration of the event. 

So it is a week long event just like the previous events.

• It starts on February 8th, 2017 at 11 a.m. PT / 2 p.m. ET.
• It ends on February 9th, 2017 at 11 a.m. PT / 2 p.m. ET.

So in this period trainer's will see increased spawns of PINK Pokemons, increased lure times (6 hours to be specific!), double candies and buddy Pokemon gets candy faster too just like the Halloween Event.

So here some PINK Pokemons in the game right now.

• Niantic's Official statement say Chansey and Clefable.

                                      

• Other Pokemons are Clefairy, Jigglypuff, Wigglytuff, Slowpoke, Slowbro, Lickitung, Mr. Mime (EU).

Trainers will also be able hatch following Gen 2 baby Pokemons at increased rate.

• Cleffa
• Igglybuff
• Smoochum

Lures instead of 30 minutes will last up to 6 hours to paint your city PINK.

Remember there was a poll on Niantic twitter account for which event was the most liked and Halloween got the most votes so, finally Niantic is bringing the most loved double candy feature to this event too. Let us break it down.

• Catch a Pokémon in the wild: 6 candies.
• Hatch a Pokémon Egg:
• 2KM: 10 to 30 candies.
• 5KM: 20 to 42 candies. -10KM: 32 to 64 candies.
• Trade a Pokémon to Professor: 2 candies.

You'll also get candy twice as fast for walking a Buddy Pokémon, so:

• 1 km Buddies will award candy every 0.5 km.
• 3 km Buddies will award candy every 1.5 km.
• 5 km Buddies will award candy every 2.5 km.

So that sums up all the available information on this new event. Get out there and catch those monsters.

Happy Catching !
